HALABELLA | Homo heidelbergensis @halabella6 | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
They walked the Earth between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago and by 500,000 years ago some populations were in Europe. Evolving in Africa, these humans were named Homo heidelbergensis. Let us begin with the naming. In 1907, an ancient human jaw was discovered in a quarry at Mauer, a village near Heidelberg, Germany and hence the name.
The jaw had small, human-like teeth but was unlike modern human jaws in being extremely large and heavy boned. This mandible was nearly complete except for the missing premolars and first two left molars and also it is heavily built and lacks a chin.The unique features of this Mauer 1 jaw led to it being named a new species the following year with certain doubts still lingering.
